As you dey even compare him to Dinho, just because humiility is making Dinho give him his flowers, shows you shouldnt be taking seriously.

Ask messi today, I am sure he will gove Mikel his flowers always. But that doesnt put Mukel among football greats. Okocha is not among African greats. He was only popular for his dribbling master class. He doesnt create chances..he isnt goal hungry. He onlybstarted scoring in the twilight of his career at bolton...qhich was already late.

All the pcreazione? mentioned with okocha are diffrenece makers on the pitch. Okocha made his own difference through dribbles completed. Na dribbling we go chop? What happened to vision for through passes and goal chance creation?

Say what now

Truidstarr:
ALL the African are coming home after this round of 32.

Bookmarked.

Roland17:
I really love some of the new changes to reduce time wasting and mange theatrics.

You see players trying to waste time by rolling all over the pitch, but the moment they realise the ref isn't buying it, guess what, they're straight back on their feet.

So far, it's working.

Unlimited22:
Proper match fixing

From the farce in Iran’s game to this nonsense

PDPGuy:

TheSuperNerd:
What I don't understand is how Argentina dey allow Jordan score them. Na wa oo.


Jordan 1-2 Argentina. Jordan has scored against every team in their group. Not exiting without goal souvenirs.

You don't say.

Imagine discovering that weaker teams are also allowed to score.

But thankfully, the goalpost no dey check passports before allowing goals in

Whar-A-Game we having here.

Algeria 2 - 2 Austria.

Entertainment at a very HIGH level.

LezzGO!

COOL10:
If this kind of goal was cancelled in favour of Argentina, some would have said FIFA was protecting Argentina and most especially Messi. Now it happened in favour of Portugal and Ronaldo.

The V.A.R replay showed the top of Sanchez's boot was offside but I highly doubt that. This looks like a clear goal for Colombia.

Episode may have been cooked in FI.FA lab

Just don't loud it

TheSuperNerd:
Beautiful goal by Algeria!!!!! 1-1

Rafik Belghali... Wonderful goal by a Rightback!!

Iran in danger now!

He took matters into his own hands, no sme sme. Brilliant goal.

PDPGuy:
EIGHT African teams are now thru to the round of 32🥳🥳

Algeria will soon make it NINE out of 10 teams. What a fantastic achievement for the teams and CAF

Yes Sir!

FIFA allowing some physicality and play to go on....all those rolling on the floor at the slightest of touches or none at all is getting outlawed?

What.A.Goal.

Sensational. Just Sensational.

Belghali just took matters into this own hands. Brilliant.

armadeo:
I swear. What a way to start a season. It was fire.

Sheepstealer see the name sef. Everyone suppose know say na werey

HOD S3Ep1

10/10 for me

Spoiler!!!! the Dragon queen looses another Son

Why una dey do this yeye thing

radarada

Melvyn11:
There's something wrong with Valverde. I don't know what has gotten hold of him but he's behaving very childish and fighting with coaches and teammates everywhere. It seems inevitable he will have a problem with Mourinho.

Could just be the frustration from previous seasons starting with playing in at RB, last season's fiasco and what not.

Hopefully he sorts this out now that he will have some time to rest before the start of the season.

Roland17:
P. Neto sef

And with that stop and go, stop and go move

Thecassanova:
That Dias clearance need to be studied

DRC sealed it 3-1

Unbelievable how he got it right 'cos any other movement na own-goal be that

fredoooooo:

Jamiuokolaa:
Baba nor see anything - shii was scripted

Sssh....don't loud it.

Sportsweb:
They told me Vitinha was the best Midfielder

Every midfielder need another another midfielder to shine

The way the teams and the entire stadium belt out their national anthems in this new format is electrifying.

Simply Brilliant. FIFA got that one right.

Xhaka to Chelsea?

To those saying some teams have no business in the World Cup, hope y'all entertained.

What a tournament. ELECTRIC atmosphere in virtually all the games.

Round of 32 go be fire. You snooze, you lose.

fredoooooo:
Fifa bet on this draw... that goal no be offside

They say na toe?

And since you can score with your toe - call is offside but how the linesman take see am is to be studied

Final round of games in some groups gonna be like WWE!

Can't wait

fredoooooo:
Eggland to win the WC or Cristiano to win the WC ..

Kaaa coooolu fun awon mejeeji

You people are just NOT nice

johnie:
Might be a combination of both.

He is still my star player in the Ivorian team.

I pray whatever is the problem with him is sorted out quickly before the next match.

Diomande has a lot of potential, but something is just not clicking with him. Maybe the position he is playing.

At a point, he had to switch flanks yesterday.

Sports, and football in particular is as physical as it is mental. Player need a good dose of both to get going.

With Diomande, give him time to grow into the game and figure out his preferred flank.

Leyqute:
He could’ve hit it first time but decided to control it first. And his first touch was terrible! He dropped the ball big time.

Everyone including those who have never played the game would have done just that - Hit it first time.
